Everyone’s entitled to at least one good scare

So stated Charles Cyphers’ Sherriff Brackett in John Carpenter’s seminal basic, Halloween… He additionally stated it in David Gordon Green’s not-so-seminal Halloween Kills, regardless of it being 40 years later, and no person within the scene having been on-site for the primary time he stated it. Still, that’s the DGG Halloween trilogy to a tee: Remember that? Here it’s once more! (additionally, mobs are dangerous). I noticed Halloween Ends. I don’t hate it like most hate it, nevertheless it does really feel like a movie made whereas the crew was laughing and saying “The fans will be SO mad!”

Howdy pals, and welcome to this tremendous scary version of Whatcha Been Playing? And by “super scary” I imply, “It was really scary on Tuesday when a flood completely ruined my kitchen and made me cry”. I admire the assist lent to me in Qposts and social media, and repairs are presently in course of. It was a nightmare, and I needed to transfer out for a bit, nevertheless it might have been a lot worse, and all of us need to be glad about the small mercies. The water didn’t hit my Lucky Chloe figurine, is what I’m saying.

A nightmare week, nevertheless it’s finished, and now it’s the weekend, so let’s make it one.

See something you want?

Usually, I’d be telling you the video games which were filling my time, however clearly the above occasions put paid to that. I’m additionally too busy for gaming this weekend, as I’m heading out of city for an industry-based Halloween get together. It’s the primary get together I’ve attended in lots of, a few years, and would be the first time I’ve worn a “costume” as such in a long time, so it’s a bit bizarre and I’m a bit anxious, nevertheless it must be enjoyable. I’m decided to go, in an effort to salvage one thing from the week and get away from my smelly home.

My costume? Well, I might go as one thing immediately recognizable, however as a substitute, I’m going to be awkward and clunky and go because the villainous Rose the Hat from Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep. I’m doing this as a result of I like that film, I like Rebecca Ferguson, and I don’t suppose I can pull off Dune‘s Lady Jessica of the Atreides. Are these the only reasons? I can’t get into that. If I look good, I’ll share images within the feedback, Qposts, or on my Twitter. Only if I look good, nevertheless.

A reader prompt I ought to go as Juri… Lordy, I do know Halloween is supposed to be scary, however…

It was The Boogeyman…
